AWS re:Invent 2022 - Serverless order fulfillment with Stripe and AWS (PRT084)

Stripe webhooks are one of the main ways to get notified asynchronously about key events that occur in your payment workflow. In this lightning talk, explore multiple options for handling Stripe’s webhook events using various AWS services. Start off by looking at some of the event types and their payloads, learning how to work with them locally using the Stripe CLI, and seeing how to scale your solution using AWS serverless services such as AWS Lambda. This presentation is brought to you by Stripe, an AWS Partner.

But how does the Lambda function accept the raw body payload?

In Nodejs, event.Records.body.
When lambda polls the queue, that's how you get the sqs body

[@bls20]

@@techexec When you set up the webhook in Stripe you have to give it an HTTP endpoint to send the data too, You might set up this endpoint Using Amazon API Gateway. APIGW can then proxy the payload onto the SQS queue that Lambda is polling.
Side note: A newer way to do this now is using the new Amazon EventBridge integration, then no webhook endpoints are needed.
